Former royal protection officer of Prince Andrew is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police for allegedly trying to gather negative information on Virginia Giuffre. This development follows earlier reports of Prince Andrew involving the Met and the late Queen’s senior aides in an alleged attempt to tarnish his accuser’s reputation. Last week, Prince Andrew renounced his royal titles, including Duke of York, in an apparent move to distance himself from the growing scandal linked to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite vehemently denying accusations of engaging in sexual activities with Virginia when she was a teenager before her passing earlier this year, Prince Andrew faces increased scrutiny. Recent reports indicate that two Met Police officers visited the ex-protection officer’s residence in South East London as part of the ongoing investigation. The officer, known for his extensive experience working with the Royals, including Princess Diana and Prince Charles, was reportedly part of the elite SO14 Royalty Protection Group.
Allegedly, a revealing email showed Prince Andrew instructing his Met bodyguard to investigate Virginia, providing personal details like her date of birth and social security number. However, there is no evidence suggesting the officer complied with this request. Further correspondence showed Prince Andrew reaching out to the late Queen’s press secretary, Ed Perkins, hours before a controversial photo of him with Virginia was made public.
Virginia’s family, confirming her clean record, condemned these actions as attempts to discredit survivors and defame them. They are demanding an inquiry into how Prince Andrew obtained such private information. The Metropolitan Police, while refraining from a detailed commentary, confirmed they are actively investigating these claims. Queries to the Met Police for further comments have been made by various sources.
